History

G.C. Dwivediwrites........According to their mutual understanding, Khandoji and Imad put simultaneous pressure on the Jats along both sides of the Yamuna, while Suraj Mal apprehending the onrush of the Maratha myriads any day, was not in a position to reinforce his struggling tribesmen. Making Hodal his base, Khandoji, towards the close of December, 1753 ravaged and occupied various Jat 'garhis' including Garhi Hathin, Jorgarhi (?) and Panah Garhi. He moved on to Nandgaon and Barsana which Jawahar Singh had evacuated earlier. On the other side, the Marathas uprooted the Jat outpost at Shikohabad. Fateh Ali Khan (whom Suraj Mal had saved against Asad Khan in 1745) with 10 thousand men occupied Kol following its evacuation by the Jat garrison. These successes enthused Aqibat Mahmud. On 5th January, 1754 (10th Rabi I, 1167 A.H.), he surprised the Jat village of Ghangaula under one of the brothers of Balram. Aqibat despoiled the village, killed the Jat, imprisoned 6 others and established his own outpost there.
